I left home and said hello and goodbye.My parents sent me off to better me;I grew up like a bird found wings to fly.

New friends–now family–took me up high;they opened up my eyes at last to see.I left home and said hello and goodbye.

So many friendly souls to call out hi,make memories of truly being free.I grew up like a bird found wings to fly.

On many days, I lay under the sky;at camp, all of it seems meant to be.I left home and said hello and goodbye.

In class, I learned to ask and learn and pry,and learned not just to listen but decree.I grew up like a bird found wings to fly.

At night, I danced and sung ‘Merican Pie,the days of youth became life’s gateway key.I left home and said hello and goodbye.I grew up like a bird found wings to fly.*Writer’s note: This poem is inspired/dedicated to CTY, a summer camp organization that I’ve attended many times. Each time has been a completely new and irreplaceable experience, so here’s my way of reminiscing those weeks. (:
